<p>I need some information from people that got high scores on the new SAT (2000+). Which SAT books are the best to study from? Examples: Princeton Review, Kaplan, Barrons? Is the Official Collegeboard New SAT Study Guide really helpful? I'm a sophmore in high school and I want to start studying for the SAT right now. What can I do to prep in the best way in the shortest amout of time? I'm planning on taking the SAT at the end of the summer of 2006 so any advice will be helpful. Sorry for all the questions but I really want to get a high score on the SAT and go to Emory University or an Ivy. My GPA right now is 3.7 btw.</p>
<p>i think you should......</p>
<p>use the search function on this website and formulate your own values on these books just like the rest of us</p>
<p>About the books, everyone has a different opinion on the books you mentioned so I would suggest you try to get your hand on them(borrow..etc) and try them for yourself. About the Collegeboard book I have only one thing to say BUY IT!. Its the only book that has the real tests and hence its a must.</p>
<p>research old posts that address this same question</p>
<p>The Official Collegeboard New SAT Study Guide is what you should get. I would suggest spacing out your studies in the span of 2-3 months. </p>
<p>In addition, I would suggest you stay away from any gimmicky methods - there are some really crazy things they sell to market SAT studying. I've found that books such as Tooth and Nail to be utterly useless in regards to SAT vocabulary and the incorporation into such classics as Frankenstein to be at least mocking to its original greatness and almost a parody of stereotypical high school knowledge of literature.</p>
